Aura
<p>The Aura and Auric Colors of the Astral Body are in the nature of emanations or radiations from the Astral Body, which are manifested in some degree by every person, and which recent scientific investigation has proven conclusively, by means of photographs, etc. The Physical Body, even, has its aura of vitality vibrations, or “Vril,” which flow freely from it, particularly when the vitality of the person is strong. This
“Vril” is the “human magnetism” of the magnetic healers, and others, and which serves to arouse strength and vigor to those
to whom it is applied. The Astral aura, on the contrary, is rather an emanation of the mental states, feelings and emotions of the
person’s mind. It is egg‑shaped, and extends on all sides of the person to a distance of about three feet. It manifests various colors, particularly around the head, the colors corresponding to the character of the mental states being manifested, or those
habitual to the person. For instance: Red indicates the animal passions, lust, anger, etc. Blue represents religious emotion,
etc.—light blue denoting what is generally called “spirituality,” but which in reality is but an ethereal, refined form of religious
feeling. Spirituality is more a matter of knowledge and life development, rather than feeling or emotion. Green denotes
jealousy, and, in one of its shades, that which is generally called “tact,” “agreeableness,” “diplomacy,” or in its lower forms, “deceit.” Gray denotes selfishness. Yellow, intellectuality in its various
degrees and forms. Black is the astral color of hate, malice and vengeful emotion. Persons in whom the faculty of Astral
Sensing is well developed may see these auric colors plainly, and are thereby informed as to the mental characteristics of
the person under observation.</p>
